Serbia’s largest-ever rally sees 325,000 protest against government

Hundreds of thousands of people descended on Serbia’s capital on Saturday to protest over the deaths of 15 people in a railway station collapse.

While the government put attendance at 107,000 across Belgrade, an independent monitor said 325,000 – if not more – had gathered, making it Serbia’s largest protest ever.

The Novi Sad collapse last November has galvanised anger towards the government and President Aleksandar Vucic. Demonstrators blame corruption and corner-cutting for the loss of life.

Now’s the time for an Anti-Trump Canadian civil defence corps.

Now’s the time for a Canadian civil defence corps. I’d sign up — would you

U.S. President Donald Trump’s desire to annex Canada makes me think of my old Scout motto: “Be Prepared.”

Trump’s tariffs and rhetoric threaten our economy and sovereignty. Our federal and provincial governments are fighting back with counter tariffs and policies encouraging increased interprovincial cooperation. Ordinary citizens are fighting back, too. Many, like me, are buying Canadian products at the grocery store and posting pro-Canadian messages on social media. Some are cancelling U.S. vacations or even selling second homes south of the border.

I can see our many many 3rd World illegal aliens just dying to sign up. They just won’t stop with the fear mongering.

This is why Doug Ford is so buddy-buddy with Mark Carney. Where does that leave Pierre Poilievre?

Power breakfasts aren’t on the menu at Wally’s Grill most days.

The Etobicoke diner does scrambled eggs for everyday folks. It rarely unscrambles big problems for big politicians.

So when Doug Ford sat down this week with Mark Carney, he set the table for an unlikely alliance: Canada’s most powerful Tory and the country’s most powerful Liberal getting together to start a new day.

Islamic State-supporting illegal immigrant avoided detention over mental health

An Islamic State-supporting illegal migrant was allowed to leave a detention centre after judges found that being confined was bad for his mental health.

A 32-year-old Sunni Muslim, he had previously been granted five years’ leave to remain as a refugee in March 2017 after crossing the English Channel in the back of a lorry.

Covid Tyrants Were Perpetrators, Not Victims

Five years after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, there is no shortage of analysis personifying the virus as the villain. In a sense, it’s understandable: SARS-CoV-2 was the catalyst and the killer that drove much of the pandemic destruction. But painting public health leaders as innocent bystanders and Covid as the boogeyman who made people sick and locked down the economy, destroyed businesses, shuttered schools, censored speech, masked children, and suspended constitutional rights and sacred rituals is deceitful historical revisionism.
